A Republican congressman just hurled sex-doll and botox-inspired insults at a fellow House Republican.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-MN) jumped on the social media bandwagon Thursday when he ripped Rep. Matt Gaetz's appearance during his Republican National Convention speech the night before.
"RNC debuts first AI-powered inflatable sex doll to speak at a national convention," Van Orden wrote.
Gaetz's smooth face and arched eyebrows drew much speculation that the Florida firebrand had overindulged in cosmetic procedures before mounting the stage in Milwaukee Wednesday night.
"Matt Gaetz needs to lay off the Botox," one MAGA fan wrote. "Damn."

Van Orden's mockery coincidentally parallels real allegations brought against George Santos, the New York Republican expelled last year, who was accused in a House Ethics report of blowing campaign funds on Botox treatments and the adult content site OnlyFans.
Now it's Gaetz raising eyebrows among fellow and former House Republicans. Earlier Thursday, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy quipped that Gaetz looked "unhinged."

Van Orden's comment spurred much mirth on social media.
"I love this republican-on-republican crime thing," replied X user Frantz Shoobert.
"Ok I’m a maga guy," replied Shawn Winters, "but this is pretty funny!!"
But he also drew censure from a young Republican commentator by the name of GOP Josh.
"The rest of the party is united," the young Republican podcaster wrote. "You are dividing."
"Not 'dividing,'” Van Orden shot back. “Culling."
